Hover event text does not support translatable components
Expected behavior
Hover events do not appear to support translatable components.
// text.foo = "foo"
Component.translatable("text.foo")
.hoverEvent(HoverEvent.hoverEvent(HoverEvent.Action.SHOW_TEXT,
Component.translatable("text.foo")))
The translation was registered with the store:
final var store = MiniMessageTranslationStore.create(Key.key("mynamespace:mykey"));
store.register("text.foo", "foo");
GlobalTranslator.translator().addSource(store);
Paper 1.21.5

If the same issue is present when you run the component through the translator manually you should open this issue on Adventure.
I don't follow. How would I do this manually? It's specifically in the hover event that this fails.
